Sew….lazy

If this blog were named Cluck. Cluck. Lay around all day I would have lots to blog about. But alas…its not, so I don’t. Mostly I’m blaming it on not feeling so great, but mostly because I’ve felt like watching some brain cell sucking TV. Only a little sewing has been done…like this fall table runner.

( I even left the food smudge on the red chair for your viewing pleasure)

And the most exciting (really) news of the week…our chickens started laying eggs. Not your ordinary eggs…green eggs. I can’t remember what the kind of chicken is, but they lay green and blue eggs. We call them our Martha Stewart chickens.

You can imagine how excited my 2 1/2 year old is to run down to the chicken coop 50 times a day to see if there’s eggs. He doesn’t quite understand that chickens can’t lay 50 eggs a day, so sometimes we have to sneak store bought eggs into the nests before he gets down there. Its like Christmas every time he opens the egg hatches and finds all those eggs in there. :)

Hope you are back to your sewing/quilting self soon and get away from that brain cell sucking tv!!! Love the tablerunner, it looks great.Are your chickens Aracaunas?? Not sure of the spelling but I know they lay green and blue eggs. You are going to CONFUSE the hens with those store bought eggs. They are going to think they already did their job for the day. Just explain farm like to your child. :D

Sometimes we need a lil break to gather inspiration... lovely runner though! I laughed out loud at the thought of your boy constantly running to the coop... my aunt had chickens and her kids were very obsessed with finding eggs too hehe So cute!

I really like the table runner. But I have to say I am impressed with those darn cute green eggs! Loved reading about your son and can just picture the excitement that all three of you have, such a cute image of your husband and you surprising your child with extra eggs.Happy Monday, Tracy

Brain cell sucking TV is sometimes very needed ;)And your table runner looks great, love the color combo with the vaseWe had chickens when I was a child and it was always a race between me and my brothers to be first at the coop....

I think they're called Auracania?is that spelled correctly?Anyway- I can relate to the cluck cluck sit around all day...tho' I have been trying to make things they're not working out too well.Love the table runner ;)

How wicked is that table runner?! And the blue eggs make me sooo jealous. We have 12 chickens (don't ask me which kind, we inherited them when we bought the house!) They are very pretty, but they only bake us brown eggs :)

I am a city girl in Charlotteotwn Prince Edward Island and we have 8 hens. 2 delawares.3 new hampshire reds and 3 americaunas(which lay green/blue eggs). We got them in June and they haven't started laying yet. How old are your hens? We also have 4 roosters who have started to crow so I was hoping that ment the hens would be laying soon. Anyways I love the table runner and I am green with envy over your eggs:)
